Background: The Open Source Registry System for Rare Diseases (OSSE), a web-based tool to create rare disease patient registries, currently offers no possibility to view aggregated registry data within the system. Here, we present the development and implementation of a dashboard for the registry of the German NEOCYST (Network for early onset cystic kidney diseases) consortium.
Methods: Based on user requirements from NEOCYST, we developed a general dashboard for all OSSE registries, which was extended with NEOCYST-specific statistics.
Results: The dashboard now allows users to gain a quick overview of key data, such as patient counts or the availability of biospecimens.
Conclusion: This work represents a first prototypical approach for an OSSE dashboard, demonstrated in an existing rare disease registry, to be further evaluated and enhanced in the future.
